On the opening and alternate rescue….
- Take as long as you need to make the cut you want
- Make the cut you want
Redundant, but there will always be people who will disagree with your choices, so may as well make the one you want. If you like the standard rescue, go with it. If you can make the alternate rescue work in a way that makes you happy, go with that one.
Thank you for that, Ravel. I do appreciate it. But I really do not have a problem with two different variations available to whomever would want a more original structure or something with a little more “flare”. However, you are right, and I think I will approach the (perhaps first) film in the spirit of the Alternate Rescue. Simply because, if we can smooth the escape a little bit better perhaps, it WOULD improve the overall experience. And that is why I started out with this edit in the first place.

I’d say whatever gets the runtime as close to a theatrical movie as possible.
The runtime ends up at something like 2 hours and 23 minutes (with new trims and the alternate rescue)

- Yes, I like NSFBisms remake of the opening a lot, and would have no issue in using it. But I would most likely only use the opening, because it breaks with the tone and the flow with what follows. It is cut in such a, let’s say, intellectually rewarding way and at a swift pace - and without any music, that when followed by the rest of the film it’s like this very intriguing, dark, lonely tone that is set and then all of a sudden it’s cut like a generic Star Wars series/film.
Yeah, I really just made it as an experiment, a little peek into what I would have wanted out of this show, but I didn’t map out how the rest of a hypothetical edit would follow. It’s actually been incredibly difficult even trying to break what the next tonally consistent minute would be lol
Not just that, there are a lot of shots I re-utilized out of their actual context. I completely made up the whole progression with his sizzling pot for example, which uses some shots from when the Organas call him.
I’m trying to find a way to make something work with it, but I’d recommend against it if it’s outside the scope of your edit tbh.
Yeah, It’s a tough one. The one thing I could see would be a nice continuation would be to just remove music (and therefore having to do more soundmixing) and just slowly but steadily introduce motifs into the film. And then cut the film/the edit in the spirit of the opening and let silence and facial expressions speak the words when it can be done, and let music and dialogue be guidance when required rather than the driving force. That would fit the spirit and tone of the opening, I suppose.
You might have made an experiment-turned-fanedit here, man. I hope you do a fanedit too. Would love to see what type of “Logan”/Lone Wolf Western" vibe you could pull off.
